When: May 9-11 2014

Writer, broadcaster, legend Studs Terkel was Chicago’s unofficial oral historian. The three-day festival Let’s Get Working (5/9-5/11) honors his legacy with workshops, screenings, storytelling, and even an improvised episode of Stud’s Place. Rick Kogan hosts tonight’s opening reception, which features readings by student winners of the Terkel Writing contest, a tribute to Terkel’s late editor Andre Schiffrin, and music from Mark Dvorak.
